Bob's Burgers: Character Appreciation and Costumes

By Surya Cherian

From the pun-filled menu options to the hilarious characters, Bob's Burgers is quite the show. Each person is unique and brings something special to the family owned burger-joint. Bob always dreamed of opening up his own restaurant and showcasing his spectacular burger creations. Now, he has it all. The FOX show has its own following and it's no surprise. The hilarious script and diverse personalities are a sure fire way to anyone's heart, whether they admit to it or not.

Linda

Linda is the craziest mom and wife. Her nasally voice and desire to break out into song and dance are her trademark quirks. She's quite the catch. Resident food inspector and Bob-hater, Hugo Habercore, is still pretty salty she's with Bob. She's braved ravage turkeys to save her children and hosted an ice-skating wrestling match in her walk-in freezer. Linda is one of television's top moms and Halloween is your time to show your appreciation.

Gene

If I could describe Gene in one word it'd be: Fart-acular. Sure, I made it up, but that's because no word in the dictionary could fit Bob and Linda's middle child. Gene is his own man and has some pretty interesting ideas. Not many people think of recording bodily sounds to create an original ballad. He's obviously inherited his mother's musical talents along with his father's imagination. This Bob's Burgers costume is a hilarious throwback to when Gene "accidentally" ate samples he was supposed to pass out. Also, you could eat everything in sight and say you're just being "in character".

Louise

Low-key, Louise is my favorite character. She lives by her own rules and is quite the sass master. Louise is a firecracker and the leader of all the best adventures on Bob's Burgers. Let's remember the actual Halloween episode where the Belcher kids took the ferry to King's Head Island for full-sized chocolate bars. They obviously have the right priorities. Anyways, Louise was on her A-game as she saved two kids from the terrors of the Hell Hunt. She even pelted her enemies with urine-filled balloons. Not the classiest of attacks, but I like her fervor. Thanks to this Bob's Burgers costume, you get to wear her signature dress and bunny ears. Make sure you do Louise proud and cause a little bit of mischief.

Tina

Tina is the weird pre-teen that vocalizes concerns most of us kept to ourselves. She's all about teen boys and how they work. Her hobbies include researching pickup lines and drafting zombie fan fiction. She's a hard worker and really cares about her siblings. Plus, her monologues and basic conversations are the main reason most people watch Bob's Burgers. Nothing can top her one liners and she has an incredible fan base. My favorite quote is, "Here's a bunch of numbers. They may look random, but they're my phone number." Turn up the awkward and you'll be golden once you get this Bob's Burgers costume. Bob's Burgers is a fantastic cartoon that emphasizes all of the specialness found in the world. You never know what to expect from any episode and it's always a hoot to watch. I think I just might be Tina come October 31st. Happy Halloween and, for the love of all things holy, avoid fat suits and innocent guinea pigs.
